ROLLING COLTER.

EPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 331,935, dated December8, 1835.

Application filed July 29.18. 5. Serial No. 172.752. No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, LORENZO D. BALL and JOHN T. BENDER, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State ofOhio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in RollingColters; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexeddrawings making a part of this specification, and to the letters andfigures of reference marked thereon, in Which Figure l is a sideelevation showing colter attached to a plow-beam. Fig. 2are detachedisomctrical viewsof different parts of the colter.

The present invention has relation to rolling colters designed andcalculated to be at tached to plows of any kind in which rolling coltersare used; and its nature consists in the different parts and combinationof parts hereinafter describei'hand particularly pointed out in the claims.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts in all thefigures of the drawlugs.

In the accompanying drawings,A represents the frame, which issubstantially of the form shown in the drawings, and, as shown, it isprovided with the groove a, which is for the purpose of receiving therod under the plowbeam in case it is desired to attach the colter to aplow having a rod upon the under side of its beam, and at the same timesaid groove will receive the lower portion of a V or U shaped plow-beam,in case it is desired to attach to that class of plow-beams. The frameis securely held to the beam by means of the clampingbolts and bar b b.

To the front or forward end of the frame A is attached the curved arm13, as shown in Fig. 1, and is securely held in proper position by meansof the clamping-bolt G. For the purpose of permitting said curved arm toturn so as to adjust the colter proper laterally, the hollow extension Dis located as shown in Fig. 2, through which the clampingbolt 0 passes.

To the lower portion of the curved arm B is attached the curved arm E,which is a segment of a circle having the same diameter as the curvedarm B. The bottom or lower end of the curved arm E is attached to theframe A by means of the king-bolt F and the bolt or bar G, .as seen in Fg. 1, the curved arms being securely held together by means of theclamping-bolt H, and for the purpose of ad-- justing the colter I up anddown the slots 0 c are provided, through which the clampingbolt Hpasses.

The meeting faces of the curved arms B and E are provided withcorrugated or serrated surfaces, as illustrated in the drawings, and areso formed for the purpose of holding the said arms B and E rigidlytogether after the colter I has been properly adjusted by means of theclampingbolt H, which holds the corrugated or serrated surfaces closelytogether, as seen in Fig. 1.

The king-bolt F is substantially of the form shown in the drawings, and,as shown, is provided with the head J, which is provided with theopening J, for the purpose ofpermitting the bolt or bar G to passthrough said head J, as seen in Fig. 1.

To the king-bolt F is attached the colterarms K K, which aresubstantially of the form shown in Fig. 2, and, as shown, are providedwith openings (1 d, which are forthe purpose of receiving and holdingthe colter-shaft d, as seen in Fig. 1. To the colter-shaft is attachedin the ordinary manner the colter I. The top or upper sides of thecolter-arms K K are provided with the extensions or knobs K K, which arefor the purpose of preventing the colter-arms K K, together with theoolter I, from turning on the king-bolt F, and at the same timepermitting alimitcd lateral motion of the colterarms K K. The head J isprovided with the set-screw L, which is for the purpose of locking thekingbolt F on the bolt or bar Gr when the colter has been properlyadjusted laterally. To properly adj ust the colter from end to end ofthe bolt or bar G, the distance should be the same from each end of thebar or bolt G to the clamping-bolt C. The bottom or lower end of theking-bolt F is provided with the pin M, which is for the purpose ofholding the arm E, together with the colterarms K K, on the king-bolt F.

Having now fully described our invention, what we claim as new,anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of the frame A, we

vided with the attached arm B, having a segmental slot, 0, the rotarycolter having its supporting-arms connected with and laterallyadjustable on the frame, the curved arm E,connected with the attachmentof the coltensupporting arms K, the frame,and the clampingboltconnecting the curved arm to the slotted arm, substantially asdescribed.

2. The combination of the frame A, having an arm,B,the king-bolt F,connected with the frame, the rotary colter having its supporting armsmounted on the king-bolt, and the curved arm E, adjnstably connected atone end with the arm on the frame and at the other end secured to thelower end of the kingbolt, sub stantially as described.

3. The combination of the frame A, having the transverse belt or bar G,and pendent arm B, provided with a segmental slot, 0, the kingbolt F,adjustable along the bolt or bar, the colter-supporting arms mounted onthe kingbolt, the curved arm E, connected with the king-bolt, and theclamping-bolt H, substantially as described.

4. The combination of a frame, A, carrying a transverse bolt or bar, G,the king-bolt F, having a head, J, adjustable along said bolt or bar. aset-screw, L, for clamping the head to the bolt or bar, and thecolter-supporting arms mounted on the king-bolt and movable laterallythereon, substantially as described.

5. In a rolling colter, the combination of the curved arms B and E, ofthe king-bolt F, provided with the head J and having the setscrew L, ofthe bolt or bar G, and the colterarms K K, substantially as and for thepurpose specified.

In testimony that We claim the above We have hereunto subscribed ournames in the presence of two witnesses.
